Well I know that total volume is 12,84cm3 so 12,84cm3=Vquartz+Vgold so Vquartz=12,84cm3 -Vgold and Vgold=12,84cm3 -Vquartz but I really don't know where to move from here because using one of those in my formula I would run into the same problem as with when I would replace mass.

Vtotal=Vquartz+Vgold

Homework Statement Piece of quartz containing gold weights 102,5g and average density is 7,98g/cm3. Density of quartz is 2,65g/cm3. How much does gold weight? Homework Equations ρ=m/V avg.ρ= m1+m2/V1+V2 The Attempt at a Solution Using average density I find that volume of this piece is...
